Flowers Everywhere

Good Morning!  I hope everyone had a good weekend.  Saturday I got together with some friends to stamp.  It is always a really fun day.  This is one of the cards I made.  I think this Wee stamp is so pretty with all the flowers. 

Speaking of Flowers, that is our theme this week at Going Grey with Scrap-Creations.  The flowers can be silk on the card or on the image.  As you can see I put them everywhere.  Spring is right around the corner in the Northeast and soon we will start seeing all the spring flowers being planted and we thought we would like to see them now on your cards.

Happy Wishes

Good Morning! I hope everyone is have a good week. It is starting to warm up here and I am loving it.  Spring and Fall are my 2 favorite seasons.  Not too hot and not too cold.  Yesterday hit 72 degrees!!!  I shut off my heat and opened my windows!  I was sad when it got cooler later in the day and I had to close up the house and put the heat back on.  The good news is I should be able to do the same today!!

This week at Going Grey with Scrap-Creations we have a fun and easy theme.  Ribbon and Pearls!!  These are some of my favorite things to use on a card.   As you know if you follow me, I love girly images and paper so Ribbon and Pearls were perfect for me!  Pull out those ribbons and pearls and play along!

Happy St. Patrick's Day!



Good Morning! Hope everyone had a nice weekend. Mine was quite which was great.  Work has been stressful and busy so I like my quite weekends.  I got my copics out and did some coloring.  Coloring for me is so relaxing.  That is one reason I love this craft.  I can get lost for hours making a card.

This week at Going Grey with Scrap-Creations we are thinking Green!  The theme is St. Patrick's Day!  My picture of my card did not come out well but I thought this image was adorable.  I usually use green as an accent color so using it as my primary on this card was a challenge for me.  I'm glad though.  We should all challenge ourselves once in a while to see how we do. 

Also, Going Grey with Scrap-Creations is looking for a few DT's.  Would you like to join the fun?  Kristen has put together a great group of ladies and we would love you to join us.  The details are posted on her blog.

Sweet Little One



Good Morning!



Today I am honored to be DT & Guest DT at the same time.  This weeks challenge over at Going Grey with Scrap-Creations is to Pop It Up!  I love popping up things on my cards.  This week I choose all they layers.  Each layer is popped up which gives it great dimension. 


A couple of weeks ago I won over at Use It Tuesday and won a guest DT spot!  The theme is All About Baby. I love that you have to use your hoarded supplies to play!  I have a hard time cutting my favorite ribbon or sending out cards with my favorite charms etc but it was fun to use these and see how beautiful they are on cards.   Lili of the Valley makes the prettiest new baby stamp which I have used on this card.  I have not made a baby card in years so this was a challenge for me but I like the way it came out.


Pull out those baby stamps, pop them up and use your hoarded supplies and play in both challenges!!  I had alot of fun making this card and I am sure you will too!

Happy Valentines Day

Happy Tuesday!  How are you? I am having a busy week at work but luckily I had a nice relaxing weekend.  I was really lazy except for making some cards which was fun!!  It is hard to believe it is February here.  We have had almost no snow and the temperatures are warmer than usual.  I hope this isn't the calm before the storm and we get all our winter snow in a week. 

Today's challenge at Going Grey with Scrap-Creations is Valentines Day!  It is right around the corner and time to think about making a card for anyone in your life that you want to say I love you.  I chose this image from Mo Manning to make my card.  It is fun, cute and reminds me of when we were young and had our first crush.
